Chapter 208, Blessing of the Divine Tree

"Senior Xia, after we offer sacrifices, will the Immortal Sacred Tree of the Dan Saint Temple really appear in the world?"

Seeing that Xia Zhen only mentioned the name of the sacred tree and did not answer other questions, Prince Shou asked anxiously, and other people from the Medical Department also watched nervously.

Xia Zhen looked a little speechless, and said unhappily: "How could the sacred tree appear so easily?"

Director Gu saw that Prince Shou looked unhappy, so he immediately asked, "Then why did Senior Xia ask us to offer sacrifices?"

Xia Zhen looked at the eighteen Qihuang Hall owners, then looked at the young men and women he brought with him, sat back in the host seat, and explained the reason for this appearance: "Qihuang Hall is related to the important responsibility of spreading the medical and alchemy arts, and the guardians have the responsibility to select suitable talents to run Qihuang Hall."

As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators from the Guardian Family straightened their backs. The younger men and women all looked at the eighteen hall masters with burning eyes, and the silent contest once again filled the entire meeting hall.

Prince Shou could no longer suppress his anger. He sat down with a gloomy face and sneered, "Senior Xia brought so many people with him. It turns out that you want to challenge the Medical Bureau."

The royal family was concerned about the background of the Guardian Family and was willing to tolerate some things, but this did not mean that the other party could do whatever they wanted. The Medical Department was not yet the Dan Sheng Temple. In any case, the imperial court was the most orthodox administrator.

Xia Zhen glanced at the gloomy Prince Shou. Although he didn't care in his heart, he still gave him some face and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are joking. I brought people here to join the Medical Bureau. We are one with the Medical Bureau."

This did not make the Prince Shou look better. "Since you have joined the Medical Bureau, you should follow its arrangements. The eighteen Qihuang Halls all have their owners. I can arrange for the people brought by Senior Xia to work in the Ninth Street."

"Don't worry, Senior Xia. Their talents will not be wasted when they go to work in the Ninth Street. I will definitely make use of them."

Hearing this, Xia Zhen was quite dissatisfied. The royal family was indeed still the apparent rulers of Dajin. However, now that the spiritual energy was reviving and many heroes had emerged, it was absolutely impossible for the royal family to still be as arbitrary as before and make all parties respect them.

You must know that in ancient times, there was no country in the Central Continent that lasted more than three hundred years, and the collapse of the Chu Dynasty was only a matter of time.

Nowadays, all parties are still willing to give the royal family some face, but they just don’t want the order to be completely disrupted.

Xia Zhen's face darkened, and he said calmly, "Why does your Highness always like to joke around? If the people I brought with me were to go to the Ninth Street, why would I have to make this long trip?"

Prince Shou felt a vague pressure lingering around him and was immediately startled. He knew that this was Xia Zhen warning him, but he was unwilling to agree to replace the director of Qihuang Hall.

Except for the nine people who received the wooden plaques, the families behind the other nine museum owners had reached a deal with the royal family. If the people were replaced, their deal would naturally no longer exist.

Prince Shou knew that Xia Zhen would not really do anything to him, so he simply confronted him with silence.

The other people present all looked solemn when they saw the tense atmosphere between Prince Shou and Xia Zhen.

Hua Changxi took advantage of being at the back, where no one was paying attention, and whispered to Huo Yunxiao: "Who do you think will compromise first?"

Huo Yunxiao shook his head. If another prince was in charge of the Medical Department, he would definitely choose to give in when facing the people of the Hudao Family. However, Prince Shou was a man with unstable moods and no rules of law.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Hua Changxi said to himself: "I think it's Prince Shou."

Huo Yunxiao looked over in surprise: "Why?"

Hua Changxi was thinking about the stench he had smelled on Prince Shou before. The stench was mixed with a strong evil aura, but he didn't smell it when they met this time. It must have been blocked by something.

"Prince Shou is probably the kind of person who likes to play dirty and won't make things too ugly in public. Just like I wasn't too respectful to him before, but he just let it go in the end."

Huo Yunxiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Do you know why?"

Hua Changxi: "Of course it's because I have something they can use."

Huo Yunxiao smiled and shook his head: "This is only one of the reasons. The biggest reason is that you are not good enough for the Shou King. No matter how much trouble you make, you can't shake the Shou King in the slightest. You are just a monkey in his hand, unable to get out of his Five Finger Mountain. He is happy to play with you."

"But now, Prince Shou is facing the people of the Guardian Family, who are as powerful as the royal family, and even more powerful than the royal family. For Prince Shou, the Guardian Family can really take away the power in his hands."

"Tell me, can the King of Shou treat you and the people of the Guardian Family the same way?"

Hua Changxi was very dissatisfied with Huo Yunxiao comparing him to a monkey: "You are the monkey."

Huo Yunxiao smiled faintly: "Under the general trend, everyone is a monkey." As he said that, he stopped smiling and looked at Hua Changxi.

Hua Changxi didn't like his inquiring look: "What are you looking at?"

Huo Yunxiao: "I feel like I'm already quite out of line, and I find that you're even worse than me." He lowered his voice and said, "Are you making fun of Prince Shou?" Hua Changxi was silent for a moment, and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Huo Yunxiao looked at her and clicked his tongue twice: "Prince Shou and the Hudao Family are fighting for control. It seems to have nothing to do with us, but it is actually very important. The Hudao Family wants to arrange for someone to take over the Qihuang Hall, so someone on our side will have to withdraw."

Hua Changxi certainly knew this: "I have a wooden sign, I'm not afraid."

Huo Yunxiao looked at her innocent appearance and sighed in his heart. With the revival of spiritual energy, people with opportunities still have great advantages. Otherwise, someone like Hua Changxi who doesn't understand power well is not suitable to appear in this meeting hall. "The wooden sign is not bound to anyone, so it can change hands."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi paused. She had never thought that someone could snatch the wooden sign from her before, but now. Although she did not dare to investigate the white-haired old man, she could sense that the other party was stronger than her. If the other party wanted to snatch her wooden sign,
Seeing her stunned, Huo Yunxiao shook his head and said, "Under the coercion of power, the opportunity you rely on is not as important as you think. If someone wants to withdraw from Qihuang Hall, do you think he is powerful or powerless?"

Hua Changxi looked at him: "It won't be me anyway." Her wooden sign was still at Kunmen Pass in Jiuyou.

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Huo Yunxiao was about to say something when he heard the sound of knocking, "knock, knock, knock~" coming from far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and soon saw Gu Xing walking into the meeting hall with a cane.

Seeing Gu Xing coming, Prince Shou's expression relaxed, and Director Gu stood up with a look of joy on his face and went to greet him, extending his hand to support Gu Xing.

Gu Xing waved his hand, rejected him, and walked straight to the main seat.

Director Gu quickly introduced the people from the Hudao family, "This is Senior Gu Xinggu. The Gu family, to which Senior Gu belongs, has been responsible for guarding the Medical Department for generations."

After hearing this, the people from the Guardian Family all stood up and saluted in unison: “Greetings, Senior Gu.”

Gu Xing smiled and nodded, asking them to sit down.

When Gu Xing walked to the main seat, Xia Zhen also stood up: "The Gu family has guarded the Dan Sheng Temple for generations, and has made great contributions. Xia Zhen, the Central Continent Guardian Family, is here to pay his respects."

Gu Xing clasped his fists in return: "Fellow Daoist Xia is polite."

Director Gu gave up his chair and let Gu Xing sit down.

After Gu Xing sat down, he looked at Xia Zhen and said, "I have been waiting for the Xia family to show up for a long time. Today I finally get to see you."

Xia Zhen smiled and said, "We are late."

Gu Xing smiled and said, "Not too late, just right." Then he turned to look at the group of young men and women standing on the right, with a satisfied look on his face, "The protector's vision is always accurate."

When Prince Shou saw that Gu Xing sided with the Hudao family, his face became even worse and he gave Director Gu several looks.

Director Gu pretended not to see it, because Gu Xing was not someone he could control.

Gu Xing praised the people Xia Zhen brought with him, and his eyes fell on the Shenmu Ding and Danxiang on the table.

Seeing this, Xia Zhen took the initiative to talk about the mission of this visit: "Qihuang Hall is a place to teach medicine and alchemy, and the owner of the hall should be the most capable one."

Gu Xing nodded, ignoring the Shou Wang who kept winking at him. He turned to look at the nine people who had the wooden plaques, and glanced at Hua Changxi with particular attention: "The wooden plaque is the token of the owner of the Qihuang Hall. Whoever gets the wooden plaque is the owner."

Xia Zhen didn't quite agree with this. Currently, none of the 18 Qihuang Halls had been activated, which showed that the people who had obtained the wooden token had not yet bound themselves to it. If it was not bound, the wooden token could still change hands.

Seeing that he was silent, Gu Xing raised his voice: "Anyone who can get the wooden sign will be recognized by the Dan Holy Temple."

Hearing this, Xia Zhen's eyes sparkled, and he compromised, "Okay, nine people have obtained wooden plaques, which means nine Qihuang Halls have already been taken by their owners. The remaining nine Qihuang Halls should be taken by those who are capable."

Hearing this, Gu Xing quickly glanced at Hua Changxi, and seeing that she quickly turned away without looking at him, he knew that this girl would not admit that she had taken the ten wooden signs.

Gu Xing himself did not want all ten Qihuang Clinics to be controlled by one person, and he also wanted to see the strength of the people Xia Zhen brought with him, so he did not say anything against it.

Gu Xing did not object, but Shou Wang had an opinion. Seeing that he was about to get angry, Gu Xing spoke first: "Fellow Daoist Xia comes from a family of Daoists, so the people you choose are naturally good. However, the Qihuang Hall now has a headmaster, and you can't let others leave as soon as you arrive."

Xia Zhen smiled and said, "The protectors of the Dao always convince people with reason and never show favoritism." He pointed to the sacred wood tripod and eighteen incense sticks on the table and said, "The incense sticks can only be lit by those who have made achievements in the Dao of Alchemy. Lighting the incense and offering it to the sacred tree will bring blessings from the sacred tree."

"Those who are blessed by the sacred tree can become the owner of the pavilion. What do you think, Senior Gu?"

Gu Xing looked at the Shenmu Ding and Danxiang with eagerness in his eyes and nodded: "Yes!"
